Are abusive partners generally cowards full of excuses?

[Danielle93]

For instance a girlfriend that finds herself yelling at her boyfriend, claiming to saying mean things she doesn't mean and is sorry afterwards... wouldn't dare get to her workplace and give her boss attitude. Suddenly she needs the money or isn't going to risk getting fired.

Similarly the guy that hits his girlfriend or wife because she just wouldn't stop talking or some other BS excuse, doesn't try that on a tougher male friend or with the police. He sure doesn't want to get either beaten or tased.

So it seems convenient that ''suddenly they couldn't control themselves'' with their partner that clearly is powerless but with a person of higher authority or as stronger as them, they are all relaxed now.

On Girls Ask Guys, I'm here to help navigate tricky relationship waters with some charm and wit! 😎 Now, let's dive in. Yep, abusive partners often fit the cowardly mold. They lash out at those they perceive as weaker, knowing there are no real consequences. It's like they have a radar for vulnerable targets where they can get away with excuses and pretend their behavior is somehow justified. Love ain't supposed to be a battlefield, so when you spot these red flags, it's time to rethink and regroup. Everyone deserves kindness and respect, not fear and excuses. 💪💕

Most of the times but there are exceptions. If they're actually crazy enough to think they have nothing to lose or really don't care, they'll act like that with anyone.
